EDIT: Oh, well, apparently identifying proper lyrics can be done using track number

I don't know about that specific site, couldn't find a single one of my albums there, thus the track# approach might not be foolproof, ie I've got some editions released both in the US and Japan under the same name, they also got the same track count, but the order varies._________________++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>+.+++++++..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.------.--------.>+.>.

The problem with darklyrics.com is that they display lyrics for whole album at one page, which makes ripping out proper lyrics impossible (unless I'm missing something, but brief analysis of page's source didn't reveal anything helpful).

Thanks for looking at it. There is also www.azlyrics.com which is the sister site of darklyrics (and covers more mainstream music). It seems to use one song per page, so it might be easier to get working. Both of these sites are considered to be among the best lyrics sites around, so it should be worthwhile to get them working

i'm new to ncmpcpp, but really liking it. one question i have is how you guys are dealing with compilations? in theremin, the osx client I was using before, on a database refresh artists in compilations would appear at the top of my artist browser, each with a space as the first character of the artist name. I don't know how exactly it worked, but by selecting "detect compilations," it would take all of these artists and put them under "Compilations" at the top of my library browser, and remove them from the artist list.

Is there a way to achieve something similar in ncmpcpp? I know I could manually change the album artist tag to all my compilations as "Compilation" and then display Album Artist in the media browser, but I don't have album artist setup for the rest of my library. I don't know if I'm thinking of this correctly, but I'm almost imaging an exception to the displaying artist on the left in the media browser, that if the album artist = 'compilations' or whatever then display album artist tag, otherwise display artist. or something that doesn't require retagging a whole library. Ncmpcpp displays the compilation artists at the top of my list with a space, which makes me think it 'knows' on some level that they are different -- I'm just not sure how to achieve the display I want.

Anyway, thanks for the great work, and for any help, and hopefully this question makes sense!

I'm having some trouble getting the local filesystem browser working, at the moment it is telling me a unix socket is required. I saw earlier in the thread a suggestion of adding "/tmp/mpd.sock" to my mpd.conf but when I do that ncmpcpp doesn't launch and just says connection refused. I also tried ~/.mpd/socket (and full address of this) but the same problem. I'm using the new beta but have only just realized this feature exists.

You need to be connected via ipc socket to mpd in order to be able to add local files to the playlist (this is independent from ncmpcpp)._________________ncmpcpp - featureful ncurses based MPD client inspired by ncmpc
